Definitions

  • This invention lies in the field of systems for brain stimulation and recording of brain activity and, more particularly, systems for placement of the lead for stimulating and/or recording at an optimized physiological brain target, for the treatment of conditions such as movement disorders.
  • Deep Brain Stimulation has been found to be successful in treating a variety of brain-controlled disorders, including movement disorders.
  • DBS Deep Brain Stimulation
  • Such treatment involves placement of DBS type lead through a burr hole drilled in the patient's skull, followed by placement of the lead and then applying appropriate stimulation through the lead to the physiological target.
  • the placement portion of the treatment is very critical, and has been the subject of much attention and research.
  • finding the deep brain target and then placing the permanent lead so that it efficiently stimulates such target is very important. See, for example, U.S. Patent Application Serial. No. 09/009,247, filed January 20, 1998, Gielen et al, which deals with the localization procedure in functional stereotactic brain surgery, i.e., the initial probing to find the optimum site for delivering the stimulation.
  • Finding the optimal physiological target in deep brain stimulation implants for the treatment of movement disorders is a particularly complicated task. This is especially true for the treatment of symptoms which cannot be tested at the operating table during lead implant. For instance, it is impossible to test walking and postural stability in Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients during DBS lead implant. Two other major PD symptoms, Rigidity and Akinesia, are also considered difficult to evaluate quantitatively during DBS lead implant. Thus far, no reliable quantitative evaluation procedures exist that can be performed during the surgical DBS implant procedure for these major symptoms.
  • PD Parkinson's Disease
  • trans-cranial magnetic stimulation coil cannot be accessed to the relevant sites of the brain when the DBS lead is being held by the stereotactic equipment. This means that the Leone procedure is not directly suggested for use in evaluating the excitability of the relevant motor cortex areas during lead implant. Thus, while the prior art procedure is appropriate for certain post-surgical testing because it is non-invasive, it is not suggested for intra-operative use.
  • the continued need in the art is a system and procedure that can be utilized during surgery when the DBS lead is being implanted, to determine when it has been placed in the optimal position for stimulation therapy of the patient's particular disorder, or for recording of brain activity.
  • the aim is a system for stimulation of the GPi or other neuro-stimulation target, and a feedback target such as the MC.
  • a key to this invention is the recognition that during surgery, there is no need for a non-invasive way of stimulating the feedback target.
  • the invention rather, provides apparatus for testing for the optimal DBS electrode position during the invasive surgery, and as part of the localization test procedure that is required in any event, enabling a reliable determination of optimal lead placement before permanent lead implant and close of surgery.
  • a primary object of this invention is to provide a system for determining with a test lead or permanent lead when a brain electrode is positioned optimally so during stimulation of the brain target normal patient excitability of a feedback target such as the motor cortex achieves the desired result, e.g., the desired body movement of a patient with a movement disorder.
  • another object is to provide an improved capacity to record brain activity.
  • the invention takes advantage of the fact that during DBS lead implant, the patient's brain is already subject to an invasive procedure. This being the case, both the neuro-modulation target and the feedback target can be readily stimulated during surgery.
  • the stimulation of the motor cortex concurrently with the GPi need not be limited to a non-invasive technique.
  • the invention provides a brain stimulation system, comprising a brain stimulator or device and lead means for placement of electrodes at predetermined positions within a patient's brain, said brain stimulator device having first pulse means for generating feedback pulses for stimulating a feedback target in the patient's brain and second pulse means for generating DBS pulses for stimulating a neuro-modulation target in said patient's brain; and said lead means being connected to said device for conducting said pulses from said device to said respective targets, said lead means comprising a DBS electrode and a conductor for conducting said DBS pulses from said second pulse means to said DBS electrode, a feedback electrode and a conductor for connecting said feedback pulses from said first pulse means to said feedback electrode, and said DBS and feedback pulses from said first pulse means to said feedback electrode, and said DBS and feedback electrodes being positioned on said lead means relative to each other so that when said DBS electrode is positioned at said neuro-stimulation target said feedback electrode is positioned at said feedback target.
  • a lead for providing stimulation of both a feedback target in a patient's brain and a neuro-modulation target in the patient's brain said lead also providing for recording of brains signals from either of said targets, said lead having proximal and distal ends, comprising:
  • the optimal DBS target location can be found. Also, either or both of the electrodes can be used for recording brain activity.
  • the test lead is removed and a permanent lead positioned so that the DBS electrode(s) is located at the optimal target position.
  • the permanent lead also preferably is aligned along the linear trajectory which includes both the neuro-modulation and the feedback targets, and carries electrodes for stimulating or recording at both targets, thereby enabling post-operative testing.
  • the system preferably includes a generator device with dual stimulus pulse channels for providing stimuli with appropriate parameters for stimulating the respective targets, and sense channels for amplifying and processing detected brain signals.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a diagram of a patient's head, with burr holes BH-A and BH-B shown drilled through the patient's skull to allow entry beneath the dura. While Figure 1 presents an illustration of the specific MC/GPi embodiment, it is to be understood that the principles involved are equally applicable to other targets, as discussed above.
  • a normal trajectory would be that indicated through the hole BH-A, along trajectory A, to the GPi.
  • the motor cortex MC is not along this line.
  • burr hole BH-B is utilized, to provide a trajectory as indicated along indicated line B.
  • the lead of this invention preferably includes an adjustable electrode location for stimulating the feedback target, e.g., the MC, when the distal electrodes are in place for stimulating the GPi or other brain target.
  • Stimulator device 30 may be, for example, a Medtronic Model 3628, or a modification thereof; and the lead may be a modification of Medtronic InterStim Model 4300 or Medtronic DBS Lead Model 3387.
  • the stimulator device contains two pulse generation channels, channel 1 indicated at 32 and channel 2 at 34. Each of these channels is controlled by control block 35, which may appropriately utilize a microprocessor and/or other control and timing circuitry.
  • the lead proximal end 41 is connected to the outputs of the device 30.
  • Channel 1 connects to one or more lead conductors which provide electrical connection to distal electrodes indicated at 46 near the lead distal end 42. These electrodes are positioned at the neuro-modulation target, e.g., the GPi.
  • the pulses generated by channel 1 and delivered to the deep brain location are, for example, pulses of 60-120 ⁇ S pulse width, typically delivered at a rate in the range of about 50-250 Hz, and with a pulse amplitude of about 1-10 v.
  • the signals delivered by channel 2 are connected through to electrode 44, which is shown positioned proximally from electrodes 46, and at a distance in the neighborhood of 3-8 cm from the distal electrodes 46, depending on the application.
  • the positioning of electrode 44 is designed to place it proximate to the motor cortex when the distal electrodes 46 are positioned at the GPi brain target.
  • the pulses delivered by channel 2 are, e.g., pulses of a width 1-10 ms, delivered at a rate of 1 to 5 Hz and with a voltage in the range of 1-10 v.
  • Signals received from the electrodes are processed at sense channels 37,38 and stored at 39.
  • electrode 44 is suitably comprised of a series of smaller ring electrodes, as indicated at 48, the purpose of this design being to achieve a greater lead flexibility.
  • the electrode 44 may be one integral ring electrode, providing a large surface extending around the tubular body 43 of lead 40.
  • a sliding tubing, or sleeve 50 Shown above the lead portion carrying electrode 44 is a sliding tubing, or sleeve 50, being a hollow tubing having an inner diameter adapted to just fit over the outer diameter of lead body 43.
  • Tubing 50 is made of an electrically insulative material coating 51, except at a window portion 52 of predetermined length.
  • the tubing 50 extends proximally a sufficient distance so that it can be manipulated, i.e., slid along the lead 43 so as to position the window portion 52 relative to the lead.
  • the tubing is illustrated as having been slid down to register with a portion of the rings 48, providing an electrode which is adjustable along the axis of the lead by positioning of the window.
  • the test is initiated by providing a test lead as discussed in connection with Figures 2 through 3B above.
  • a test lead is provided with respective MC and GPi electrodes, where the position of the MC electrode is preferably adjustable to account for required patient variations in inter-electrode distance, as discussed in connection with Figure 1.
  • the location of the GPi and the MC are then preliminarily determined, as indicated at 62.
  • the approximate location of the GPi can be determined non-invasively; a more exact location of the GPi target can be determined as discussed in the above referenced U.S. Patent Application Serial No.
  • the location of the MC can be determined, e.g., by trans-cranial magnetic stimulation. With this information having been obtained, the desired one-dimensional trajectory through the two targets is known.
  • a burr hole is drilled to provide entry through the skull for the desired linear trajectory. Note that if a first burr hole is drilled in order to perform the initial localization, it can be used for placement of a separate lead to the GPi, as discussed above.
  • the test lead is stereotactically introduced along the trajectory, and the distal DBS electrode positioned in the area of the GPi.
  • the position of the MC electrode 44 is adjusted, e.g., in the manner suggested by the discussion of Figures 3A, B.
  • the positioning of electrode 44 with respect to the MC will, of course, depend upon what body portion is to be tested or treated.
  • the two targets are stimulated, and the relevant body movement, or lack thereof, is noted. This provides the feedback for determining when the DBS electrode has been optimally located. Also, at 68, brain activity at the two sites can be recorded.
  • the DBS electrode complex 46 is optimally located. If no, which would include a state of uncertainty, the position of the DBS electrode is adjusted, as shown at 72, and then the stimulation is repeated, as indicated by the branch that loops back to 68. When the physician is satisfied that an optimal position has been found, the test is concluded, and the permanent lead is implanted, as indicated at 74. The lead is then attached to the generator device, and the patient is chronically stimulated, as indicated at 76. As mentioned above, by providing a permanent lead that also has an MC electrode, and is placed along the trajectory that encompasses both targets, subsequent tests can be conducted. Further, brain signal recordings can be obtained from the electrode sites, either concurrently, or at one site during stimulation of the other site.
  • a system for stimulating or recording at dual sites in a patient's brain e.g., a feedback site such as the motor cortex, and a deep brain or neuro-modulation site such as the GPi.
  • a feedback site such as the motor cortex
  • a deep brain or neuro-modulation site such as the GPi.
  • the preferred embodiment has been presented as a single lead, either a test or permanent lead, it is to be understood that the invention can likewise be practiced by insertion of two leads, e.g., one for positioning of an electrode at the motor cortex and one for positioning of an electrode at the GPi.
  • the term "electrode” means either a single electrode or a plurality of electrodes, as illustrated in Figures 2 and 3A.
